Moises Henriques added to Australia squad for Adelaide Test
New South Wales' all-rounder, Moses Henriques, has been included in the Australian Test squad for the Adelaide Test. The 33-year-old replaces Sean Abbott, who suffered a mild calf strain during the tour game against India last week.

Abbot, however, will proceed with his rehabilitation programme and is set to be available for the Boxing Day Test.
Our best wishes with Sean Abbott who will remain in Sydney to continue his rehabilitation from a mild calf strain. Sean is expected to re-join the squad for the second Vodafone Test in Melbourne! ?

The Portuguese-born all-rounder has only managed to score 105 runs at an average of 10.5 from 14 innings in red-ball cricket. Having last played a Test match four years ago, Henriques will look to make amends with the bat against India in the pink-ball Test if given a chance.
India and Australia are set to take on each other in the much-awaited four-match Test starting from December 17.
